WHAT QUESTIONS ARE YOU LIVING?

What questions are you living in your life?

Have you ever asked yourself that question?

What are the unknowns?  What answers do you seek?

Where are you going?  Where are you destined?

My first line of this blog was written as a sentence, not as the beginning of a poem. However, it became the poem.  The above four lined poem opened my eyes to the fact that I often spend too much time being concerned about what is going to happen in the future.  The unknown is always lurking before us; sometimes to the extent that we forget to live in the moment.  Perhaps instead of struggling to find the answers we should regress in our endeavor of searching and instead simply live in the question(s) and allow the moments you live to reveal the answer(s).

Often we get so caught up with the “what ifs” of life which allow worry and stress to beleaguer our present.  Perhaps the best thing to do is to step back, enjoy the moment, and allows the answers to be revealed to us as we journey through our present.  We should never be willing to give up living in the precious moment by worrying and stressing about the unknowns of tomorrow.

And so I choose to live this day to the fullest.  It is the only day I have to do so.  I choose to allow the questions of my life to be part of the enjoyment of now.  The main question at present is should we sell our house or should we stay in place?  I choose to not worry or stress or lose sleep over it.  I will turn it over to God and allow Him to guide us through this question; to the plan that is best for our remaining years.  Only God knows the beginning and the end.  My job is to live in this moment; not stress about the future.  The questions will be answered as we live in the moment.

Thank You God that You have all the answers to any question I am living.

Thank You for opening my eyes to live in the present moment You give me each day.

Thank You for Peace.

I PRAY THAT YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!

GOD BLESS YOU
